Saturday, January 12, 2019- Gutsy Ugandan activist and former Makerere
University don, Stella Nyanzi, is reported to have suffered a miscarriage while
in jail.

The ballsy mother of one, who
has been a thorn in the flesh of authoritarian President Yoweri Museveni,
has been in jail since November 2018 for abusing Museveni on Facebook.

When she was arraigned in court back in November, she refused to apply for bail and said that she
wanted to go and educate inmates on use of social media.

“I
visited my friend (Nyanzi) in Luzira prison on Tuesday last week. She took a
while to show up and they told me she was unwell. Finally she showed up looking
frail and she had cut off her hair. She told me she lost her baby,” Nana
Annette Namata, a social rights activist and Nyanzi’s friend disclosed.

On
her part, Nyanzi said: “Why am I being denied access to my medical forms? I
suspect this government is set to scrap out uteruses of those in opposition. My
private doctor is before court, I will need to consult with him after seeing
medical documents,”

It
is reported that bled for close to three hours without medical attention
because the Ugandan government insisted Nyanzi, who is 44-years old is already
in menopause and cannot get pregnant.
